Fourteen years after the implementation of the education program, the federal government attempts to rework education standards from this controversial act. We'll look at how Common Core standards and NCLB overlap, or differ, and what changes this could bring to our school systems.

GUESTS:

  • Mary Earick – administrator of the Bureau of Integrated Programs for the N.H. Department of Education and state director of Title I.
  • Laura Hainey – president of the American Federation of Teachers in New Hampshire
  • Alyson Klein ­– reporter for Education Week on federal policy and programs including No Child Left Behind and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.    Read some of Klein's recent reporting here.
